Summary:
More than twenty years of IT experience in nearly all areas of IT roles including leadership roles. Main focus on IT
security in the last eight years using Windows and Linux based systems,tools and development to support PCI
compliance requirements for a financial company. Most significant programming achievement is in creating an IPS
application using Python in 2013 that saved the company approximately $200,000. This application is still in use and in
three different sites. Created a Vulnerability management process in 2009 that ran scans,stored results and forwarded the
results to a ticketing system that saved the company approximately $30,000. Developed an Anomaly detection
application data to look for intrusion activity. Designed and programmed a VB.NET application for Human Resources
that corrected a failing consultant timekeeping process by identifying discrepancies and allowing the accounting
department to fix the time recording problems to correctly pay employees on time. This application saved the company
from negative public relations and the loss of employees who were not being paid and the loss of related contracts.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Data Security Analyst  Resurgent Capital Services  Cincinnati, OH  Dec ‘07 – Present
 Programmed an anomaly detection process in 2013 to identify anomalous IP traffic using Python scripting and
Netflow data. The process has error logging and results are written to a MySQL database.
 Designed an intrusion prevention process (IPS) in 2013 using Python scripting, OSSIM platform, and Cisco
Firewall. The IPS process uses Snort events as input and is capable of Whitelisting by IP address and Snort SID.
The system has run time logging, error handling and database storage. The system is capable of working in
multiple locations of a company. The function of the IPS system was made to be similar to the Sourcefire Next
Gen Firewall system. This IPS is currently doing the function that would have cost more than $200,000 in similar
Sourcefire products. The process is being used in three different sites.
 Created a vulnerability management process by modifying the source for the open source OSSIM product to use
Nessus to run scans and create a report to feed the data into a Remedy ticketing system in 2008. The data is
stored in a MySQL database and a Python script is used to query and process the data into an email, which the
ticketing system parses and creates work requests for the system administrators.
